Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are presented for operating a time slicing shared memory switch. The apparatus includes a bus for receiving a plurality of data frames in a respective plurality of input channels to the switch. A slice crosspoint applies the plurality of data frames to a shared memory in a time sliced manner. The time slice is established for each section of a shared memory to be staggered so that on any clock cycle, one memory portion is being accessed for writing at least some of the data frames and on a next clock cycle the memory portion is accessed for reading at least a portion of the data.
